According to the author; This seventh edition of Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry addresses some of the changes that are occurring by placing a greater emphasis on the applications of organic chemistry, especially applications to medicine and agriculture. Many new examples of biological organic reactions have been added in this edition; Interlude boxes at the end of each chapter are rich in the chemistry of drugs and agrochemicals; and problem categories such as “In the Field” and “In the Medicine Cabinet” reinforce the emphasis on applications.

This book is written for a one-semester course in organic chemistry, where content must be comprehensive but to the point. Only those topics needed for a brief course are covered, yet the important pedagogical tools commonly found in larger books are also maintained. In this seventh edition, Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry continues its clear explanations, thought-provoking examples and problems, and the trademark vertical format for explaining reaction mechanisms.

The primary reason for preparing a new edition is to keep the book up-to-date, both in its scientific coverage and in its pedagogy. Global changes to the text for this new edition include:
• Writing has been revised at the sentence level.
• Chemical structures have been redrawn.
• Titles have been added to Worked Examples.
• Brief paragraphs titled “Why This Chapter” have been added to chapter introductions to explain the relevance of the chapter material to students.
• Many biologically oriented problems and examples have been added.
